The whole of the italian Riviera was
devastated by two violent shocks of earth
quake The fatalities are reported from Sa-
vona, where eleven lives were lost; Noli, near
Savona, where there were fifteen victims; On
eglia, about midway between Nice and Genoa,
where six were killed and thirty injured; Di-
ano- Marina, a few miles distant from Oneglia,
where the fatalities were numbered by the
score; and at many other points The shock
extended into France, and at Nice there was
great panic

The result of the German election is
decided triumph for Bismarck. Whether it
is fair expression of the will of the German
people may we'll be doubted; but it has been
attained under the forms of law, and il places
the Chancellor in a stronger position than he
has occupied for many years. The exact di-
mensions of the government majority in
the new reichstag will not be known
until the supplementary elections have
been held in the districts which
made no choice. But the majority will prob
ably be large enough for "all practical pur-
pose" The adoption of the septenate is fully
assured, and that is the chief thing that Bis
marck was striving for. II, in addition, he
can secure the passage of his monopoly
measures, rejected by the last Reichstag his
success will be doubly priced. Bismarck has
never abandoned these projects, and they
will doubtless be brought forward as soon as
the army bill has become law Bismarck's
